The Music Box

On IMDB Dinah only made one movie, appearing as Susie The Mule in "The Music Box", also in this movie were Charlie Hall and Billy Gilbert, oh and Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy.

The Music Box is the wondrous 1932 Oscar winning short film.

Produced by Hal Roach, written by H.M. (Beanie) Walker and directed by James Parrott.

If it had been a Friends' episode it may have been called "The one with the piano and the stairs".

To digress, I was just trying to imagine Laurel & Hardy in Friends, it wouldn't be too difficult to equate Joey or Phoebe (the dumb ones) to Stan and maybe Ross or Monica (the equally dumb, but think they're the clever ones) to Ollie. Some of the comedy crosses over and the process of making both has some similarities, yet even ten years after they were first shown, some of the humour in Friends seems dated. The Music Box is still making kids of all ages laugh 80 years on. Here is the full movie.
